  • 4. 

    Each crew is responsible for supplying their own fuel (including spare fuel)

    • YES, there are legal limits on how much fuel can be carried and the only way to ensure that fuel is transported safely and legally is for each crew to bring their own fuel.

    • NO, we will be able to find it somehow locally

    Correct Answer
    A. YES, there are legal limits on how much fuel can be carried and the only way to ensure that fuel is transported safely and legally is for each crew to bring their own fuel.
    Explanation
    The answer is YES because the statement clearly states that each crew is responsible for supplying their own fuel, including spare fuel. This implies that there are legal limits on how much fuel can be carried, and the only way to ensure that fuel is transported safely and legally is for each crew to bring their own fuel. The statement also dismisses the possibility of finding fuel locally, indicating that it is not a viable option. Therefore, the correct answer is YES.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    While in formation there is a special MOB procedure which sees the MOB being picked up by a pace boat, all other boats including the casulty's own boat maintaining formation.

    • True, it would be dangerous for a boat to break formation and try to manoeuvre in the middle of the fleet.

    • False, we have been trained to pick up our own casulaties so that's what we will do on the day.

    Correct Answer
    A. True, it would be dangerous for a boat to break formation and try to manoeuvre in the middle of the fleet.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is True because breaking formation and trying to maneuver in the middle of the fleet can pose a safety risk. The MOB procedure involves a pace boat picking up the MOB while the other boats, including the casualty's own boat, maintain formation. This ensures that the fleet remains organized and reduces the chances of accidents or collisions. By attempting to pick up the casualty on their own, a boat would disrupt the formation and potentially cause chaos or accidents. Therefore, it is safer for the boats to maintain formation and let the designated pace boat handle the rescue operation.

  • 6. 

    Do you need to provide the Trinity 500 launching trolley with your Trinity?

    • YES, all boats will need to be launched and recovered on slipways by hand.

    • NO, HQ will provide large numbers of people to manhandle the boat.

    Correct Answer
    A. YES, all boats will need to be launched and recovered on slipways by hand.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is YES, all boats will need to be launched and recovered on slipways by hand. This means that the Trinity 500 launching trolley is necessary to assist in the process of launching and recovering the Trinity boats. Without the trolley, it would be difficult and impractical to manually handle the boats on slipways. Therefore, it is important to have the launching trolley to ensure a smooth and efficient process.

    The correct answer is Navigator. The navigator is responsible for providing updates on bridge by bridge navigation to the coxswain. They work closely with the coxswain to ensure the safe navigation and handling of the boat. The navigator plays a crucial role in guiding the boat through bridges and ensuring that the boat follows the correct route.

    The MSSC HQ Communications team are covering all PR and media requirements, no action needs to be taken at unit level with local media contacts?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the MSSC HQ Communications team is responsible for handling all public relations and media needs, implying that unit-level action is not required with local media contacts. However, the correct answer is False because it is important for units to maintain their own local media contacts and engage with them as necessary, even if the HQ Communications team is also involved in overall PR and media efforts.

    Boats follow at a spacing of 10 meters, as this is measured from bow to bow it means the gap between boats is actually what?

    • 10m

    • 4.5m

    • 14.5m

    Correct Answer
    A. 4.5m
    Explanation
    The spacing between boats is measured from bow to bow, which means it includes the length of one boat. Since the spacing is given as 10 meters, and the length of one boat is also 10 meters, the actual gap between boats is the spacing minus the length of one boat, which is 10m - 10m = 0m. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.5m.

    On the day of the Pagaent all boats should listen to  VHF 72 and only use this channel for all emergency calls even MAYDAY and PAN PAN.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    On the day of the Pagaent, it is important for all boats to listen to VHF 72 and use this channel exclusively for emergency calls, including MAYDAY and PAN PAN. This ensures that all boats are on the same channel and can effectively communicate in case of emergencies. By following this protocol, it helps to maintain safety and coordination among all the boats participating in the Pagaent.

    You have just launched your Trinity 500 and your Suzuki DF2.5 engine is running, when you select drive (gear) and go to accelarate the engine makes lots of noise but the boat does not move. What is the most likely cause?

    • The Killcord is not attached

    • There is too much oil in the engine

    • The Propeller has fallen off

    • The Shear pin has broken

    Correct Answer
    A. The Shear pin has broken
    Explanation
    The most likely cause for the engine making lots of noise but the boat not moving is that the shear pin has broken. The shear pin is a small metal pin that connects the propeller to the engine shaft. Its purpose is to break under excessive strain or impact, protecting the engine from damage. When the shear pin breaks, the propeller is no longer able to transfer power from the engine to the water, resulting in the engine revving but the boat not moving.

    When in formation during the QDJP which of the follwing are valid reasons for a coxswain to slow their boat down?

    • To allow the press a better photo opportunity (PR is important)

    • In order to maintain the correct spacing behind the boat in front (it is important to keep the formation as accurate as possible)

    • When towards the inside of a bend (as you will have less distance to travel than the the boats on the outside of the bend)

    • To communicate with a nearby boat (As the VHF carried on each Trinity is for listening and emergency only)

    • For the Safety of your Crew (as crew safety is more important than any other consideration)

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. In order to maintain the correct spacing behind the boat in front (it is important to keep the formation as accurate as possible)
    A. When towards the inside of a bend (as you will have less distance to travel than the the boats on the outside of the bend)
    A. For the Safety of your Crew (as crew safety is more important than any other consideration)
    Explanation
    The coxswain may slow their boat down in order to maintain the correct spacing behind the boat in front, as it is important to keep the formation as accurate as possible. Additionally, when towards the inside of a bend, slowing down is necessary as the boats on the outside of the bend will have to travel a greater distance. Lastly, slowing down for the safety of the crew is crucial, as crew safety should always be prioritized over any other consideration.

    Explanation
    The PR element of the QDJP aims to promote individual crew stories to both the National and Local media. This means that one of its priorities is to highlight the personal experiences and achievements of crew members and share them with a wider audience through various media outlets.

    Explanation
    The Suzuki DF2.5 engine can be transported or stored in two valid methods. The first method is securing it upright, which means keeping it in an upright position. The second method is laying it down on its tiller side, which means placing it horizontally with the tiller side facing downwards. These methods ensure the engine's stability and prevent any potential damage during transportation or storage.
